That night, a well-known advertising company to do the designer's friend told me that this line of work for two years, just get the job from the joy of today's more and more obvious fatigue, she has gradually lost the direction of struggle

In this big company, around the master clouds, despised is common, even be ready to face out of the crisis. Now, I can not find the joy of doing this at first"
The face of a friend's troubles, I suddenly thought of the recent popularity of the NBA star Jeremy Lin, think of him in the face of the media, frankly about the struggling mind
Influenced by her father, Jeremy Lin grew very love playing basketball in high school, he led the team won the state basketball championship. But in the United States, the basketball ring has been dominated by black and white, yellow skin of Chinese players are discriminated against in the circle. In the summer league in San Francisco, some people openly humiliate him in the stands: "yellow skin, go back to China!" he is under pressure, with good results, for the tone for the Chinese. Join the Jinzhou warriors, prejudice and the pressure of unemployment is still at any time around him, he has three times by the Jinzhou Warriors team to Reynolds bighorn sheep. The Rockets accepted his surprise is not cleared, in order to give Signing - Haiti Rockets center Samuel Dalembert aside, and Jeremy Lin will not hesitate to cut, they are far less than the height of prejudice, Yao Ming Jeremy Lin may be more proficient in reading on the Harvard Chinese boy, don't really understand the basket ball.
Key players Ayman Schubert and Byron Davis were injured in the accident, let Nicks team faces the Weihuang control. Nicks had been recruited into the first is cut by the rocket Jeremy Lin serve as a substitute. However, it is such a face many times of unemployment and cold-shouldered etc. the embarrassment of Chinese players, in February 6th Nicks and the nets sports event, appeared soon with a game high 25 points. For he didn't expect the coach pleasantly surprised at. Then, Jeremy Lin again in the next game, a record 25 points and 7 assists, 28 points and 8 assists to become a miracle, shocked the world basketball star.
After the success, Jeremy Lin said, a lot of people motivation is money, the girls and the star of the way of life, he has often been secular temptation. In order to play better, he gave himself a lot of pressure, which makes him lose the aim of basketball.
The contempt of shame as a driving force, he has improved, but did not find the original peace and happiness. Once the joy of turning on the basketball was once dominated by the invisible pressure, so that he felt anxious and irritable
Later, Jeremy Lin found the money and honor to achieve dream as the purpose to play, its success has become a huge pressure, and even became a success on the resistance. So, he re adjusted the idea: competitive happy, enjoy the passion of the game is not broken beyond their own, independent of fame and wealth. He gave the pressure to find a correct exit, so he found peace of mind and pleasure.
Today, friends have similar anxiety, look at their own, do not have such trouble? Perhaps, the workplace itself is an arena, opportunities and pressures always coexist
The world is wonderful, from a certain perspective, but also from the competition. The competition is a blockbuster or All flowers bloom together. a positive power, may also become a negative psychological pressure. So, learn Jeremy, to find an outlet of the pressure, don't dwell on career success or failure, please pay attention switch state -- bearish immediate gains and losses, do one to enjoy the work of people, to experience beyond their own passion, sweat feel happy. Unexpected success, probably not far away waiting for our arrival.
